The ReproParturition event is to capture information relating to the birth, while the MovementBirth event is to register the progeny (for systems that do this separately from providing progeny details as part of a parturition event).

The ReproStatusObserved event is to capture information relating to abortions.

It would appear there are two suggestions here:

• Ability to capture additional (but ideally structured) information about the parturition - the first list above.
• Ability to capture "size" as opposed to birth weight, for the progeny (or is this intended as an observation related to the dam, rather than the progeny - how is it used in animal evaluation?)

If these are international needs, and we can define the set of values, they could be added as enumerations. Otherwise my suggestion is for a localised use they can be added as an extension (the specification and JSON support this).

[dirbSEGES]

Ok, i understand. We have the same system with separate registrations.

Yes - i have 2 suggestions. About the suggestions, we use the informations in the calculations of breedingvalues.

I have a 3. suggestions to describe the "calvingprocess". (Maybe it is what calvingEase in the ReproParturitionressource describes, but there are not any selections yet) Also used in the calculation of breedingvalues.

I'm not sure if it's a international need, but it is a requirements in our system when a calving is registered.

Can there be a guidence how to make a local extension for the ReproParturition?

Personally I see that this should be defined as part of "calvingEase" codes.
Currently in icarReproParturitionEventResource this field is defined as "open" string type, but in my opinion it should be defined with own enum type including values proposed by @dirbSEGES

[erwinspeybroeck]

We are talking about the calvingEase field indeed. We discussed it in the past, but I think there was no consensus to make it an enum as such, since vaues can differ regarding country.

[dirbSEGES]

We will make local additions for Birthsize and Stateofbirth. And use the enumeration for calvingEase that will be defined in the discussion in #185

I will close this discussion. Thank you.
